"Thank you so much. My Xoe is progressing so well every day. My kids are so excited to jump in and help with learning games. I have a totally new dog in 3 weeks already. It is like we flicked that switch of teamwork and are unstoppable. Your program is amazing. And I am glad (and irritated I can't be impulsive,  LOL) the course is time released, you are a genius. Thank you again"

Does Any Of This Sound Familiar?
You dread going on walks because of the horrifying embarrassment you feel when your dog goes crazy lunging, barking, and growling at other dogs or people…

You get an overwhelming feeling of stress every time a trigger comes near for fear that you could lose control of your dog…
 
You feel guilty that you have to keep your dog shielded away from the rest of the world and aren’t able to give them the life of adventure and exploration they deserve…
 
You have to explain to friends and family that they can't see your dog because they're in their crate upstairs because they may bite…
 
You can’t do any of the fun activities you've always wished you could do with your best friend because you know it’s unsafe…
 
You spend hours each day in a state of crippling anxiety that something could go horribly wrong at any moment…
 
You feel judged by family, friends, and neighbors and notice all of the nasty looks that they give you and your dog…
 
You have moments where you question if all the time, effort, and sacrifice you’re putting into managing your dog is worth it…
"I like the program, my young dog is doing well so far. He is doing great with his aggression issues. I am surprised àt how well he is doing. I am so glad that he is improving, and that I bought this program. It has been a lifesaver! Thank you."

Richard & Judi ★★★★★

And while experiencing these feelings on a daily basis is hard enough…

You also know in the back of your head that the worst-case scenario could happen at any moment

Because every single day:
  • Dogs have to be rehomed or euthanized
  • ​People, oftentimes children, and other dogs get bitten and injured
  • And good, loving owners who are trying their best get sued and prosecuted
And If all that isn’t bad enough, chances are you’ve already hired trainers and behaviorists who promised you the world, then did nothing but take your money…
and leave you with a dog who was a master at sit and stay, without helping the aggression/reactivity at all…

And maybe even made it worse…

And if that’s the case, you’re not alone…
60.6% of Aggression Academy members already hired 1 trainer before joining the group.

8.6% hired 3 or more!
60.6% of Aggression Academy members already hired 1 trainer before joining the group.

8.6% hired 3 or more!
So you should know that it’s not your fault…

And you’re not the reason why your dog is still reactive/aggressive…

Because the truth of the matter is…

Millions of wonderful dog owners struggle with healing their dogs’ aggression and reactivity… including us

That’s why we created The Aggression Academy

Because we’ve been in the exact same shoes you’re in
“Your program was my last thread of hope with Wilson. And overall, I love it. A big THANK YOU for offering a less expensive option. We’ve already spent so much $ on training that I wouldn’t have allowed myself to purchase yet another expensive attempt at fixing my dog. I’m so grateful.”

Who Is The Aggression Academy For?
The Aggression Academy will help you if you are an everyday dog owner who has a dog (or dogs) that are any of the following:
Human aggressive or reactive
What is it? 
A dog is human aggressive or reactive if they display signs of aggression (biting, growling, snarling, lunging, etc) towards people, in or out of the home. This is not to be confused with owner-directed aggression.
Dog aggressive or reactive
What is it? 
A dog is dog aggressive or reactive if they display signs of aggression (biting, growling, snarling, lunging, etc) towards strange dogs in or out of your home. This is not to be confused with In-home aggression between 2 or more of your own dogs.
Leash Aggressive or Reactive
What is it? 
A dog is leash aggressive or reactive if they display signs of aggression (biting, growling, snarling, lunging, etc) towards either people or dogs when on a leash.
Note: This is not for you if you’re struggling with in-home aggression towards you or between your own dogs.
So What Exactly Is The "Bubble Theory?"
“Thank You!! I was hesitant at first because of it being online, but It’s helped my poor boy so much and it’s so exciting to see him build his confidence!”

So What Exactly Is The "Bubble Theory?"

When we decided to revamp the Academy to make it even better…

We made it a point to remember that every dog and every owner are different. 

We all have different tendencies, are in different circumstances, work at different paces, have different levels of training & handling skill, and have different goals.

Which is why we wanted to make this membership for all dog owners at any of the 5 Stages of Aggression, and that includes…

Stage 1

Evaluating & Planning


This is the very first stage of aggression/reactivity where you know your dog has a real issue, (could be any of: barking, lunging, growling, snapping, biting, etc), but you haven’t started training to fix the problem yet.

QUESTIONS TO ANSWER:

? Am I sure my dog’s issues aren’t caused by a medical issue?
? How do I start towards helping rehabilitate my dog?
? How do I determine the size of my dog’s bubble?
? How do I figure out what my dog’s triggers are?
? How do I know if my dog is about to blow up before it happens?

Stage 2

Laying Foundations


At this stage, you understand your dog’s triggers, the size of their bubble, and you’re following a consistent training plan to build up a foundation of impulse control, confidence, and obedience skills.

QUESTIONS TO ANSWER:

? How do I know if my dog is making progress?
? How do I know my dog and I are doing the training exercises and games correctly?
? What tools are best to use?
? Which obedience behaviors and skills are the best ones to teach my dog?

Stage 3

Negative to Neutral


At this point, your dog has built up a strong foundation of obedience skills, impulse control, and confidence. Now during stage 3, you are working to change their emotional response to their trigger from negative (growling, lunging, biting, etc) to neutral through several different training games.

QUESTIONS TO ANSWER:

? How do I find other people/dogs to work with?
? How do I make sure the training games are safe for everyone?
? What signs do I look for to see if my dog’s emotional response is changing?

Stage 4

Neutral to POSITIVE


At Stage 4, your dog is neutral to their triggers, and requires only some management and support. And now you’re actively working on shifting their emotional response towards their triggers from neutral to positive, if possible (not every dog is a social butterfly and that’s okay!).

QUESTIONS TO ANSWER:

? In what situations do I need to be careful with my dog to avoid any setbacks?
? How do I help my dog understand that people and dogs can be a good thing?
? How do I know if my dog’s temperament just isn’t suited towards socializing with others?

Stage 5

Trust & Maintain


Woo hoo! You’ve achieved the ultimate goal: a trustworthy dog who is calm, comfortable, and confident in any reasonable environment. But your work isn’t done!    At stage 5, now your job is to do your best to make sure your dog never reverts back to their old habits and continues on to new heights! This is done through occasional maintenance exercises and games, not setting them up for failure, and providing them with a fun & fulfilling life!

QUESTIONS TO ANSWER:

? How do I make sure my dog doesn’t revert back to being aggressive or reactive?
? What are the best ways to give my dog a fun & fulfilling life?
? I’m ready for more!! How do we both continue to improve?
Covering all 5 Stages ensures that the Aggression Academy is for any dog who currently is aggressive or reactive, or has been before.

So we can help you get rid of it as much as possible, and help you make sure it stays away for the rest of their life.

So since the Academy is for any dog owner in any of the 5 stages,  we decided to break this program into bite-sized chunks so that…
Anyone, At Any Age & At Any Skill Level, Can Jump Into The Aggression Academy And Start Making Progress Based On Where You Already Are
And that’s the truth – it seriously doesn't matter how much experience you have…

Whether it be 1 decade, 1 year, or 1 minute of training experience….

You will be able to start working at your level right away.

So if you’ve been working with your dog for years and have a foundation firmly in place already, you don’t need to slog through concepts you’ve already mastered

Or if you’re brand new, you can start to build your skills and your dog’s impulse control and confidence at an appropriate pace for you, so you never get overwhelmed.

And while we created the Aggression Academy for any owner,

It’s for any age and any breed of dog too.

From Maltese to Mastiff

And Puppy to Senior

Doesn’t matter — our team of trainers can help you apply the concepts in the Academy to your unique dog and situation, that’s what they’re there for!
Note: The only situation in which The Aggression Academy will NOT help your human, dog or leash aggressive/reactive dog is if the aggression is being caused by a health issue. If this may apply to your dog, please see a Vet before joining the Aggression Academy.
"The training certainly was an adjustment for my 10 yr old and he didn't take it very well at first, since he's done whatever he wants when he wants all his life, but clearly it was what was needed. Thank you."

Rusty ★★★★★

"Your program has been very helpful. I have previous experience but have never trained a puppy who is quite as reactive as the one I'm working with now. I share your understanding of canine behavior and am 100% on board with your methodology. My pup has progressed beautifully! I really appreciate your work. Thanks!"

"I have seen some very good changes in Jasper. He is a Siberian Husky/Chow mix and has always been a nervous/sensitive dog and fearful of people and other dogs outside of the family. He is very good with family and with my other dogs.  He used to growl and lunge at people and dogs as we would walk in the park. He would growl and cry as he saw activity from the window and then run back and forth nervously throughout the house. People he was not familiar with he would growl and try to lunge when they came into the house.  Since I have started the training, his behavior has improved tremendously. He is much more relaxed. He doesn't seem bothered by people or dogs as we walk past them in the park.....even if they growl or bark.  I am now able to stop and chat with people when I see them and Jasper will sit calmly by my side. People stop me all the time to ask me about Jasper...he has very striking looks.  He isn't darting his gaze back and forth continually to watch for "threats" anymore. It's nice to see him relaxing and enjoying his walks. He hasn't been overagitated at all when he hears outside noises or sees something from the window. Most of the time, the noises and sights don't faze him. Even when he does get a little excited on rare occasions, he can easily be brought back to a relaxed state using calm commands and reassurance. Implementing rules and structure, working on building a trusting relationship with Jasper, developing clear communication with him, and working on building his confidence have gone a long way in changing his behaviors for the better. I am very pleased with his progress."

Here’s The Real “Secret” To Why The Aggression Academy Is So Effective…
By going through the Academy, you are not only receiving a world-class education on aggression & reactivity rehabilitation…

But on top of that, all of the training is done by you

Which means you’ll improve your training and handling skills exponentially along the way

And that will be the difference between a dog that improves for a couple days at a time before reverting back to their old habits…

And a dog that actually recovers for good

Remember: 60.6% of Aggression Academy clients have hired at least 1 trainer or behaviorist already to help, but to no avail.

You can hire a trainer to build a perfect foundation for your dog, and then to implement the Bubble Theory for you

And it will work, but most likely only for a little while, usually just a couple days
Because if you recall from the Bubble Theory video above: 

a dog’s Bubble changes depending on the environment they’re in & also who they’re with
Well if a trainer is the one who implements the foundation and the Bubble Theory, then your dog’s Bubble is only going to shrink when they’re with the trainer

Once they’re alone with you, in their usual environment, that bubble, and the aggression along with it, will likely come back

This is why it’s so common for a dog to be sent to a board & train, for example,

This is why the secret to getting rid of your dog’s aggression and reactivity PERMANENTLY is the full education of you, their owner, their partner

Just like you need to build up your dog’s foundation of skills, self-control, and confidence

You also need to build up their and your confidence in you, as well as your own trust in your skills as a handler

If that 2-way street of confidence & trust isn’t there,
Your dog will feel like they have to take control of every situation that makes them uncomfortable

And if you’re anxious or nervous, you can be sure your dog will pick up on that too
Which again, is why it’s so common to see a dog behave horribly with their owner, then a trainer shows up, takes the leash and 5 minutes later the dog acts like an angel
Dogs are extremely perceptive

If you’re calm and confident, that will radiate to your dog


But you can’t fake it, that calm confidence comes from increasing your skills as a handler

And that only comes through building that foundation together

Which anyone can do, no matter your age, size, or dog

I just feel so comfortable with her approach and the pace at which information is introduced. She is obviously an expert in her field and truly enjoys what she does and the canines she trains. We got this with your help. Thank you again!"

"Hey Ashley! I have been noticing Daisy becoming less and less reactive. It is really nice. We have been able to stop and talk to one of my neighbors and she even met the “man of the house” and let him pet her and didn’t lunge at all. I am so glad that I enrolled in the academy because it gave me some structure to follow and something to focus us on. I just want to thank you for the program and skills I’ve learned."

To Learn Everything Taught In The Aggression Academy In-Person Would Require 12+ Hours of 1-on-1 Time With a World Class Trainer
And not only are world class trainers hard to find…

But they’re also extremely busy

And expensive.

Even if you were able to find a trainer capable of teaching you this information, who had the time available to do it, it would easily cost you upwards of $200 an hour or more!
Where with The Aggression Academy, you have multiple world class trainers in your pocket, AND you have access to them and their lessons 24/7/365…

for a fraction of the price of an in-person trainer

Because by enrolling in the Aggression Academy, you’re essentially paying just $15 a week…

Compare that to just 1 private lesson a week, which will likely cost $100-200 an hour or more…

And it’s no wonder why over 3,000 dog owners have enrolled in the Aggression Academy

Not to mention it takes more than one session a week to heal aggression and reactivity (as you likely already know...)

So those $100-200 payments can rack up quickly, to the point where you feel forced to accept that nothing can be done to help your dog’s aggression…

Simply because you can’t afford it.

This is why we made the Aggression Academy affordable for everybody…

Because then, anybody, for just the cost of a lunch out for 2 each month can:
Finally Leave The Stress, Anxiety, and Paranoia Of Owning An Aggressive or Reactive Dog Behind
 All those times you had to mastermind your walk with your dog to take a specific route at a specific time just to avoid running into any other dogs

Or maybe like those times you would pass by young children, and you grip your dog’s leash tighter with a pit of anxiety in your stomach…

Or all the times when you’d see a trigger across the street and silently praying your dog would miss them just this once…

All of this can finally be put in the past …

And you can have the life together you dreamed of when you first adopted your best friend…

Where you could take your dog with you to the park or the beach…

or happily have friends and family over for dinner…

Or simply be able to take a stress-relieving walk at the end of the day

Because as soon as you enroll in the Aggression Academy…

Slowly but surely…

Not only will you notice your dog’s bad habits start to fade…

"I had Cash on the long line last night and my friend brought her dog out. Cash was AMAZING!!  He would look at the other dog and then look at me. I rewarded him. He never reacted. We were able to go within 5 feet of the other dog. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!"

F.A.Q.

How do I know if this will help my specific problem?

The Aggression Academy will teach you how to fix human, dog, or leash aggression & reactivity. Meaning if your dog growls, lunges, excessively barks, or bites at other people, other dogs, or while on the leash, then The Aggression Academy applies to you and your dog.

It also doesn’t matter whether you live on a farm or in a 20th floor apartment in the heart of a city, the principles are the same and can be applied anywhere by anyone.

This program is not for you if your dog's primary issue is one of the following:

- Owner-directed aggression, which is Aggressive behavior towards you or other human members of your household
- In-home dog-on-dog aggression, which is Aggression between 2 or more of your dogs living in your home
- Food Aggression, which is aggressive behavior only around food
- Prey drive, which is instinctual aggression toward cats, squirrels, rabbits, etc

What training methods do you use and teach?

My dog has been aggressive/reactive for years… will the Aggression Academy still help?

Yes! One of the amazing things about dogs is their ability to adapt their behavior to their environment and current experiences.

This will require more effort and repetition because these responses are more ingrained, but dogs are always capable of learning new behaviors. If a dog’s environment and the outcome of their behavior changes, they will change which behaviors they use.

How much time does the training take?

Our belief is that training with any dog, but especially a formerly-aggressive dog, should never end. And that’s a big reason why we created the Aggression Academy in a membership format, so you can continue to improve and level up with your dog long after you’ve conquered the aggression or reactivity problem.

But in terms of a timeline to rehabilitate the aggression/reactivity, the beauty of the Aggression Academy’s membership format is that it allows people to go at their own pace, depending on their dog(s), situation, and learning style.

Some people may be very skilled handlers already and just need that accountability and guidance to cross the finish line, so they may see huge success in a couple weeks. Other people may be starting from scratch and prefer to move slow and steady, so it may take them longer.

Our advice is: don’t worry about how long it will take to reach the end result you’re looking for, instead focus on how much time you can spend with your dog, day after day, week after week, consistently. Once we figure that out together, success will come!

What makes this different from all the other people who also claim they can fix aggression and reactivity?

There are many things that make the Aggression Academy different, but a couple major differentiators are:

it doesn’t focus on trying to correct the symptoms of the issue: biting, barking, lunging, etc. It focuses on mending the root cause: fear, anxiety, stress, distrust, frustration, etc.

It educates you, the owner, on how to fix the problem yourself, in your home, which is where the dog lives. Changes made in a trainer’s house or facility are far less likely to stick when the dog gets back in your home, with you.

Our trainers strive to teach you the “why” behind every part of the training process. We want you to gain real mastery of the skills we show you combined with understanding what’s happening mentally and emotionally for your dog. You should be able to apply these training skills to this dog and every dog who joins your family from here on out.

It takes the dog through a process of building up their confidence in themselves and in you, how to behave with you, how to control their impulses, bringing out their personality, showing them their trigger is nothing to be afraid of, then ultimately showing them that their trigger can actually be a good thing. The vast majority of training programs either skip to the last step or just do obedience training.


The Academy is unique in that it is a program that has been remade 3 times over based on previous client feedback to make it better and better. On top of that, it’s been created with the perspective of world-class trainers, of course, but also from Jon’s perspective, who is an owner that was in the same position as you and struggled to overcome it himself. That combination of the angle of both the owner and the trainer makes the Academy one of a kind.

What are your qualifications?

We have a team of 3 highly-qualified dog trainers!

Jessa Parker: Certified Professional Dog Trainer - Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA)
Ashley Dunham: Certified Professional Dog Trainer - Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA)
Becca Levan: Certified Dog Trainer - Comprehension (CDT-C)

What tools do I need?

To perform what’s taught inside The Aggression Academy, the only tools you’ll need are a regular collar, a regular leash, food, and a toy (could even be just a stick!).  

All of these items are things that every dog should have, and it’s all you need. If you don’t have one of these tools, I highly recommend getting them for all dogs you have now and in the future, even if you don’t get this program.

Other tools may be recommended throughout the program depending on your unique circumstances, but none are mandatory.

How does the program work?

The program is a monthly membership that contains a course, a private community, and a catalog of other content (videos, articles, etc). All with the goal of helping an everyday dog owner rehabilitate their dog’s aggression or reactivity.

The course is made up of 7 Phases and each phase builds upon the previous one, so you’re never overwhelmed and only work on the step in front of you. All content is open from the first day of enrollment so you can begin at the Phase that is appropriate for you and your dog’s current level.

All clients have the ability to post any questions they have, privately or publicly in the community, and will be answered in detail by at least 1 of our trainers within the next 24 hours.

Do you have a money-back guarantee?

Yes! Our Turbo Tail-Wagging Guarantee is a 30-day, no questions asked money-back guarantee for anyone who isn’t so thrilled with the Academy that their tail is wagging at turbo speed!!

Why is the program a monthly subscription?

The Aggression Academy is a monthly membership for several reasons:

The membership format allows people to move through the 7 Phases at the best pace for them, as opposed to being forced to go at an arbitrary, predetermined pace. Some people can move faster and others need more time.


There is never an end to training and learning for an aggressive or formerly-aggressive/reactive dog. The membership format allows you to have access to the community and to our team of trainers and the content they produce for months or years on end, so you can always continue to improve and level up, while also making sure your dog never reverts back to their old habits and behaviors.


The membership better allows for the community of dog owners to connect, mix, and mingle. It gives people who have rehabilitated their dog’s aggression a reason to stick around and that inspires and helps the new owners going through the same journey!

What should I do once I enroll in the Aggression Academy?

Once you enroll in the Aggression Academy, you will be shown a video walking you through the exact steps on how to access your program. Once you’re in, there’s nothing else to do but get started!
